Knights of the Frozen Throne to Launch August 10th

Blizzard announced the date today on its site, clarifying the previous release window of August.

The expansion will feature a total of 135 new cards being added to the game for which 9 new cards will be something called "Legendary Hereos.' Blizzard have also added a new power called 'Lifesteal" which simply allows the player to heal themselves for the amount of damage they inflicted on the enemy.

The company is still selling its 50-card bundle for $50, if you're into that sort of thing. The previous one, Journey to Un'Goro, was a hit with players thanks to its unique cards and balanced decks.

This set takes its inspiration from one of Warcraft's greatest villains, the Lich King Arthas, and the World of Warcraft raid centered around him, Icecrown Citadel.
